Versace, Versace, Versace

Palazzo Versace was the world’s first fully fashion branded hotel, a little piece of European luxury right here in Australia. I enjoyed my stay here over the New Year and stuffed myself silly at the buffet breakfast (and dinner) every day. For those of you planning a trip, I recommend you camp out in one of the luxurious cabanas by the pool & order a plate of delicious salty wedges, visit the Aurora Spa for a massage, do some shopping in the Versace boutique and walk next door to Marina Mirage for more restaurants, shopping & water activities.

However, unless you are prepared to pay an additional $250 – $550 pp (on top of the nightly room rate) to have a drink, a bite to eat or even walk through the lobby on NYE, I suggest you find an alternate time of year to stay at this hotel.
